Jonathan congratulates Buhari

President Goodluck Jonathan has called to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari on his victory in the 2015 presidential election.

Minister of aviation, Osita Chidoka, revealed this through his Twitter handle, @Bennosy.

TheCable understands that Buhari, who flew the flag of the All Progressives Congress (APC), received the phone call from Jonathan, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday at 5:15pm as the results were being announced.

Both candidates had signed the “Abuja Accord” to prevent post-election rancour.

In 2011, over 800 persons were killed in post-election violence in the  north.

Jonathan will make a national broadcast after meeting with senior PDP figures, Chidoka said.
